Yongsan Garrison is home to the Brian Allgood Army Community Hospital. Formerly known as the 121st Combat Support Hospital, BAACH provides inpatient and outpatient care. It has served continuously in Korea as a field unit since September 1950 and as the Seoul Military Hospital, since 1959. In 1971 Seoul Military Hospital merged with the 121st Evacuation Hospital and in 1994, was redesignated the 121st General Hospital. In 2008, the facility was renamed the Brian Allgood Army Community Hospital to honor its
former commander who was killed by enemy fire while later serving in Iraq in 2007 as the command surgeon for Multi-National Forces-Iraq (MNF-I).
